Problems when Running more than one script at a time.

Post by glavender » Thu Sep 25, 2014 6:59 pm

I have been trying to run more than one script at a time. Each one runs normal by itself, but if I run them together the scripts do not behave as expected. The problem is not user interface problems, just seems to be that the scripts are interfering with each other. Are variables being shared or something to cause this?
Thank you,
Gerry

Variables aren't shared but naturally there will be some interleaving slowing the process down. Better to set it to run one after the other, or in separate environments. Really depends what they are doing.

Totally agree with Marcus on this one. I actually have four pc's dedicated to automation in various forms and formats. Whenever I've tried to combine things at the same time, it turns into a dog's dinner. I'd recommend picking up, if you haven't got a lot of capital, a couple of PC's two years old for around $100 each, an inexpensive KVM switch and run with the wind.
